Pat Harkins is a Survivor of Suicide. Her son, Alex, died by suicide in 2009. After much counseling and support groups, she has devoted herself to raising awareness about suicide and helping others recover. Here she shares her story with Nichole Berlie from KSDK. This Saturday, July 19th, Provident will be hosting our Annual Rooster Run

Technically I am a “survivor of suicide” but that title does not define me nor serve my mission.
I am a daughter who loves and misses her father. I am a mother who wishes her son could know his grandpa. I watched mental illness destroy a person I love and I want to let people know their life is meaningful and that a brighter future is possible.

Help Provident wake up the St. Louis community to the importance of suicide prevention and mental health services. Gather your family and friends on July 19 for the Provident Rooster Run Presented by Emerson! Register to run, walk and volunteer.

As we acknowledge Mental Health Awareness Month (May), we realize there's so much territory to cover to understand mental illness, to raise awareness and really begin to understand the depths of what it means and how to help. The following video link - http://youtu.be/IgugsvR6pxM - is a glimpse into five survivors' stories of loss. Their willingness to share so that they might be able to help others is a testament to their strength and courage.
